P-pop powerhouse SB19 made a grand comeback with the release of the music video for their latest single “DAM,” alongside the single’s debut.
Aside from giving fans a glimpse of a dark, medieval fantasy world, the five-member group also shared during a Facebook live the message they wanted to impart to their fans. Reflecting on the song’s meaning, SB19’s leader Pablo shared his insights on the newly-released track.
“I always ask myself, how do we go beyond what we’ve already given? How do we exceed our limits? I feel like everyone reaches a point in life where they hit a plateau. It’s comfortable, and it works—but is that what you want? Do you want to just stay comfortable and sustainable? Of course, you’ll always long for something that allows you to explore yourself and give more to others. So that’s the big question: how do you surpass your own limits?” said Pablo.
He further emphasized the song’s connection to its title, drawn from the Filipino word pakiramdam, meaning “feeling.”
“And beyond that, there’s the question: ‘What does it feel like?’ How will you ever feel something if you don’t take the first step? If you just want to stay comfortable because it works, because it’s okay—why change it? But to achieve greater heights, you have to face the danger head-on,” he added.
Released on Friday, Feb. 28, the music video takes viewers through an intense visual narrative inspired by the brutal and tragic tales of knights, sorcerers, ravens, and looming castles. The project showcases another creative partnership between SB19 and 1032 LAB, a team famous for creating detailed and imaginative storylines.
The new track, available in both standard and extended versions, is a preview of their upcoming extended play (EP) Simula At Wakas, slated for release on April 25.
